now, i will tell you that what nbc news is reporting and we can assume that nbc news and pete williams, the best in the business, have vetted this well, is that there have been solid leads that have been developed, and we know from our reporting and what we've seen here, that there is a swarm of law enforcement still over the scene of the attack, that took place 48 hours, still gathering evidence, including video evidence, including fragments of the explosive devices, and those will likely come in very handy. the internship that authorities and sources, law enforcement sources, i should say, are using with pete williams is solid leads. solid leads is a good thing, but it's a long way from an arrest. and the fbi has squarely knocked down those reports that arrests have been made. in fact, no arrests have been made. back to you. >> and no doubt we're going to be hearing a lot more from the fbi when their press conference starts, 5:00 p.m. eastern. scott, thank you very much for the fbi's statements so far. we'll take a very quick break and continue this story after this. making them work
